I am going to make everything around me beautiful - that will be my life.

There never has been a house so bad that it couldn't be made over into something worthwhile.

I am going in now for interior decoration. By that I mean supplying objets d'art and giving advice regarding the decoration of their houses to wealthy persons who do not have the time, inclination, nor culture to do such work for themselves. It is nothing new. Women have done the same thing before.
